The house committee has at last taken I'D
the favorite idea among army men of punish
ing desertion, and has recommended tattoo
ing. -"Don't call it branding" said Gen
Bragg, speaking Of the suggestion. NO
civilized nation used to brand human being
1t is bad enough to brand cattle We recon-
mend tattooing. This is u practice that some
men, sailors in particular, engage in for pure
delight don't see why it should not prove
good means of punishment. The army
officers who study this question of desertion
want to tattoo every man who enlists Then
If he deserts. he is already branded. or in
delibly marked, and can be identified. ant! il
he goes swimming can be detected Tine
English used to brand, and later have tat
tooed big ID on the deserters hip For y
time it was put on the left breast. We think
it should be put on the back between the
shoulder blades. You see, mere tattooipr
would do no good If it is where the deserter
can get at 1t and tattoo some device over or
around the big ID To obliterate it. We have
begun small. so as not TO excite too much
vlrtuous indignation Our d is to be only
an inch long. 1t ought to be two feet on one
man. He has deserted seventeen times The
fact Is, some men prefer well kept ,uli-
tary prison to garrison life. IL congress
should pass this tatooing law it would require
about five pounds of India ink so supply the
army annually. There are about 700 dcser
tons annually, an average, you see, of about
two tattoongs day, Sundays included

A QUIET STREAM

A quiet stream
Flowed through leyel meadow all day :ons
It's voice was heard 81 murmurous melody,
That half whisper seemed, and half song
Yet no one paused to hear its harmony.
Or marked the brightness of its sunny gleam
But where its course
Was half arrested by the rugged stone
1t swelled and dubbed till with new born power
1t leaped the barrier, all its weakness gone
Its spray ascending In a silvery shower.
Its onward way pursued with added force.
Its beauty then
The artist praised. the poet sang, until
Came many to admire the pretty scene,
half marveling at the strength Of such rtll-
silver ribbon parting banks Of green,
Swift as An arrow, deeper than their ken.
So we in life,
Unconscious Of our strength may pass along,
Our silent efforts vain-our labor lost
Content to rest unnoticed by the throng,
Whose paths in life daily course have crossed,
Till trouble comes to rouse us into strife.
Then we posses,
Through labor, power-from pain and weariness
We learn the lessons that will make US strong,
Endow us with capacity to bless
The world will listen to the stirring song,
Born of a soul replete with earnestness.

Life Insurance by Telegraph,

A Chicago merchant decided to surprise
his wife by presenting her with $4,000
policy on his life; but he neglected to apply
for the policy until the day before Christmas.
Then be was told that the application and the
report of the medical examiner would be sent
to the New York office, and the policy would
come back in n few days This wouldn't do.
The merchant suggested telegraphing The
medical examiner was sent for, his report and
the application was telegraphed to this city,
and in less than six hours from the time Of
application the report was accepted in New
York and the policy received in Chicago.
This is said TO be the first transaction of the
End-New York Sun.

at is strange how some people are affected

conversation

around more blood in his constitution than
the law allows. As the train nearcd Chey-
enne he began to glare around the car Us If
he was afraid somebody was going to slug
him, and when the news agent passed through
peddling some oranges he fairly yelled for
them to take him away He was afraid of
being killed. When be reached here he got
spells in the same way, and had good deal
of bother in soothing him
"When he wasn't flighty he told me that he
had often been troubled that way When he
reached any tolerably high altitude. The
least excitement brought on a fresh spell. l
learned afterward that he never had any
such attacks at home In my experience at
the depot here have known Of many people
who have been troubled in the same way.

on inquiring of the trainmen l learn that
afterward they go through all right"
"You remember that little fellow from Ne
vada, who cut up such tantrums at the depot
here few months agoi" asked the Judge
The listener intimated that he hadn't for
gotten the circumstances.
@Well, that fellow began to show the effect
of the altitude as the II ain neared Cheyenne
By the time be had reached here he had bar
ricaded himself in the retiring room and was
about to throw himself out of the window
when the trainmen forced their way in and
caught him. He was sure somebody was
going to kill him. | got him away from the
crowd and told him I'd protect him, and
finally got him quieted down. The trainnen
looked after him until they began to descend
from Sherman, and soon after he seemed to
be as sane as anybody
1T was only few days later that an old
lady on the train was taken III the same way
She got it into her head that a colored woman
who sat III the far end of the car had foul de-
signs upon her. Until the train reached
Cheyenne the unfortunate daughter of Africa
did not dare move muscle for fear of throw
ing the old lady into commissions. Cases of
this sort turn up often.
"N hat sort of people seem to be most
affected that way." was asked
"They are generally thin blooded. merry Gus
people, who, if they are in fair health, have
got but little vitality back of them" was the
reply. Very nervous old women ore cry
often the victims. A slight jar or shock sets
them going, and then the depot rustler has IA
picnic on his hands and no mistake. Their
mania always assumes the same phase-thcy
always believe somebody is going to kill
them-Cheyenne Sun

The Detroit base ball team has assembled
at Macon, Georgia where they will commence
series of practice games on Friday next
playing with the Findlays, a comprehension
al team. Lovers of the National game, in
Michigan and elsewhere, will pay close atten-
ton to the work of the team from this time
onward. There can be no doubt that the
champions have been materially weakened
by the loss of Kelly-who has been released
to tho Bostons-Dalrymple and Gore, while
the Detroits should be stronger than ever
before. They came out very near the top
last year and it is confidently predicted that,
barring accidents. the pennaut will wave over
the "city of the straits at the close of the
next ball season.
